ASX ANNOUNCEMENT

THICK HIGH-GRADE GOLD INTERSECTED AT FORREST

Future Battery Minerals Ltd ( ASX: FBM ) ( FBM or the Company ) is pleased to provide an update on its Phase 1 Reverse Circulation (RC) drill programme at the 100% owned Miriam Project, located in the W.A Goldfields Coolgardie region of Western Australia. The Company has received the first batch of the Phase 1 assay results that relate to the Forrest prospect. These results represent 10 holes of the 21-hole Phase 1 programme. Assays for the remaining 11 holes, which cover the Canyon prospect (1.5km to the south of Forrest prospect), are expected in the coming weeks.

Highlights

  • Assays returned for the first ten (10) holes of the initial Miriam drill programme; all 10 holes were drilled at the Forrest prospect, with results significantly exceeding expectations.

  • Numerous thick, high-grade gold intercepts were returned within shallow oxidised areas, including significant extensional outcomes to known gold zones.

  • Drilling has successfully and substantially expanded a known gold lode to the west, providing further opportunity to target this lode to the north and south where it remains open. Drilling intersected:

  • 33m @ 1.57 g/t Au from 35m downhole in FGRC004, including

    • 16m @ 3.10 g/t Au from 44m downhole
  • Discovery of new primary fresh rock gold lodes in the south-west extension of Forrest, intercepted:

  • 12m @ 1.56 g/t Au from 75m downhole in FGRC003,

    • including 1m @ 5.21 g/t Au from 84m downhole; and
  • 4m @ 1.37 g/t Au from 108m downhole

  • Significant upside potential remains at Forest at depth and testing fresh rock below the oxide gold zones.

  • Infill results that significantly exceeded thickness and grade expectations across shallow oxidised zones included:

  • 29m @ 1.45 g/t Au from 32m downhole in FGRC001, including:

    • 14m @ 2.33 g/t Au from 38m downhole
  • 14m @ 2.29 g/t Au from 30m downhole in FGRC006, including:

    • 8m @ 3.52 g/t Au from 36m downhole, and

    • 4m @ 2.46 g/t Au from 54m downhole

  • 13m @ 2.21 g/t Au from 56m downhole in FGRC005, including:

    • 4m @ 4.30 g/t Au from 64m downhole
  • 9m @ 2.83 g/t Au from 46m downhole in FGRC007

  • These results deliver strong validation and extension of historical Forrest results, plus identifies multiple areas where gold lodes show excellent potential to extend within both oxide and fresh rock where they remain open along strike.

  • Assay results from eleven (11) holes drilled at the Canyon prospect, south of Forrest expected to be received in the next two weeks.

  • Phase 2 drill programme is set to commence following receipt of all Phase 1 assays, with FBM envisaging a significant follow-up RC programme to extend multiple zones of high-grade gold mineralisation, targeting further extension of Forrest and regional prospects potentially including Canyon, Jungle and Forrest South.

  • FBM remains well-funded to undertake all planned exploration activities through 2025 and beyond, with a strong cash balance of A$6.4 million and zero debt (as at 30 June 2025).

FBM Managing Director and CEO, Nick Rathjen, commented:

“The results from the Forrest prospect have exceeded all expectations. These thick, high-grade gold intercepts returned within shallow oxidised zones have strongly validated our belief in the Miriam area and the substantial body of gold-focused exploration work put into the project over the past few months. This drilling has both confirmed the quality of historical gold lodes and highlighted multiple areas where these lodes offer strong extensional potential.”

“The stand-out intercept received from Forrest of 33m @ 1.57 g/t Au from 35m, including a higher-grade interval of 16m @ 3.10 g/t from 44m, delivered the best result to date at Miriam and a significant westward extension to a known gold lode previously identified through historical drilling. It also excitingly offers significant potential for further extensions to the thick, high-grade zones of this lode to both the north and south.”

“These excellent results at Forrest are to be followed shortly with the expected receipt of assay results from the eleven additional holes drilled at the Canyon prospect. We are eagerly awaiting these results, as Canyon is an untested 1.75km long structural target located on the same sheared contact hosting Forrest and has rapidly emerged as a high priority given extensive coincident gold anomalism in soils.

“FBM’s primary goal is to swiftly and methodically build on these Phase 1 results, which will inform future exploration drilling at Miriam. Once all phase one assays are received, the team will be preparing to commence the second phase, targeting further extensions at Forrest, along with regional targets including Canyon, Jungle and Forrest South.”

Excellent initial results from Phase 1 drill program at Miriam

In July 2025, FBM conducted a gold-focused Reverse Circulation ( RC ) drilling programme at Miriam. The programme consisted of twenty-one (21) holes for approximately 1,900m drilled and was designed to target gold mineralisation at the highly prospective Forrest and Canyon prospects .

Forrest prospect

FBM’s drilling at Forrest was designed to confirm and extend historic exploration conducted in the 1990s, where multiple flat-lying lodes of gold mineralisation were identified within regolith but provided limited historical understanding of bedrock potential. This historical drilling resulted in the discovery of shallow oxide gold mineralisation over a strike of 600m and produced numerous shallow intercepts highlighting attractive thicknesses and grades.

FBM previously collated all historical drilling data in May 2025 and found that much of the data lacked detailed geological logging and was missing key details with respect to depth of oxidation, lithology and texture. As a result, only limited interpretation and modelling of the gold mineralisation could be achieved however the upside potential was recognised and a key focus of the current drilling.

Significant historical intersections included 0F[1] :

  • 12m @ 2.09 g/t from Au from 60m (MRC97-15)

  • 10m @ 2.51 g/t from Au from 30m (FGA002)

  • 10m @ 2.09 g/t Au from 30m and 4m @ 4.86 g/t Au from 73m (MRC97-5)

  • 5m @ 7.35 g/t Au from 70m (MRC97-25)

FBM designed a compact 10-hole program at Forrest to confirm the location, grade and thickness of the identified gold lodes and to test potential dip, strike and plunge extensions. Drilling was also designed to test potential extensions of mineralisation to the north-east and south-west.

Extensions and fresh rock discovery

The best result from the current Forrest drilling was hole FGRC004, which returned a thick gold intercept of 33m @ 1.57 g/t Au from 35m downhole . This hole was designed to target a historic 30m line extension from where historical hole BMRC97-35 previously intercepted 5m @ 3.31 g/t Au from 85m downhole (refer Figure 2).

Hole FGRC004 exceeded expectations, significantly extending mineralisation further to the west, and included a high-grade section of 16m @ 3.10 g/t Au from 44m downhole . The result also highlights the prospectivity of this zone at Forrest and indicates that there is further potential for extensions to this significant lode to both the north, south and down dip.

Figure 2: Cross section of FGRC004 6562930N

In the southwest of Forrest, hole FGRC003 was designed to test a potential plunge extension of the modelled lodes. The hole intercepted quartz veining with minor sulphides on the oxide/fresh rock contact at 75m down hole depth and resulted in an intercept of 12m @ 1.56 g/t Au from 75m, including 3m @ 2.87 g/t Au from 79m downhole – highlighting the successful identification of the primary fresh rock lode at Forrest. Further deeper drilling will be required to track this lode in fresh rock along strike.

Other successful extensional holes included FGRC007 ( 9m @ 2.83 g/t Au from 46m downhole ) and FGRC008 ( 3m @ 0.86 g/t Au from 81m downhole ), which successfully intercepted a north-east extension of Forrest.

Importantly these results including FGRC004, highlight that the Forest mineralised system remains open in multiple directions. Remodelling of the system has greatly improved FBM’s understanding and supports potential to extend the mineralisation to the south, north and west targeting key trends identified in FGRC004, FGRC007 and FGRC008 and surrounding historic holes. Following the program FBM was able to more accurately model the oxidised and fresh rock boundaries at Forrest. This work has helped identify several other potential sites of fresh rock primary gold mineralisation in historic drilling. To date FGRC003 has provided the best confirmed intercepts of fresh rock gold mineralisation, however FBM have identified several zones for potential targeting. Historical air core drilling to the southern extension of Forrest proved to be too shallow and ineffective in identifying this new lode. This represents an additional opportunity for FBM to further test potential fresh rock extensions at Forrest.

Infill intercepts

The historically identified lodes were able to be extended or joined, including hole FGRC001 which intercepted 29m @ 1.45g/t Au from 32m downhole (which was targeting the historical intercept at hole MRC97-5 of 10m @ 2.09 g/t Au from 30m downhole and 6m @ 0.44 g/t Au from 46m downhole).

The programme has also successfully intercepted the targeted lodes from historical drilling, including the thick high-grade intercepts at holes FGRC005 and FGRC006, which targeted the historical drill hole (MRC97-15) that previously intercepted 12m @ 2.09 g/t Au from 60m downhole (refer Figure 3). Significant results included:

  • 13m @ 2.21 g/t Au from 56m downhole, including 4m @ 4.30 g/t Au from 64m downhole (FGRC005)

  • 14m @ 2.29 g/t Au from 30m downhole, including 8m @ 3.52 g/t Au from 36m downhole, and 4m @ 2.46 g/t Au from 54m (FGRC006)

==> picture [499 x 344] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 3: Cross section of FGRC005 and FGRC006 6562955N

Significantly, these intercepts were all contained within weathered and oxidised mafic rock units and associated with quartz veining. In some cases, remnant alteration could also be identified. FBM’s sampling activities at Miriam consisted of both single metre cone split samples and 4 metre speared composite samples. The results reported a combination of both sample techniques and further assaying will be conducted on any 4m composite which returns a value of >0.1 g/t Au, and selective multi-element assay will be conducted on zones of interest. Assay results of the corresponding single metre samples will likely be received in early October, these results will further refine the grade and thickness of numerous intercepts.

Canyon prospect

The remaining 11 holes of the maiden Miriam programme were drilled at the Canyon prospect, 1.5km south of Forrest, testing this high-potential 1.7 km geochemical and geophysical target. Forrest is located on the same sheared contact that hosts the Forrest gold prospect. Assay results for these holes are expected to be received in the next two weeks.

Other prospects for future testing

Historical wide spaced drilling conducted to the south of Forrest intercepted two additional prospective zones known as Forrest South and Jungle. The gold mineralisation at these prospects remains open and further drilling is required to understand the potential scale of mineralisation, however these prospects represent opportunities for further growth. Key intercepts include[1] ;

  • 16m @ 0.93 g/t Au from 44m (LDC7) Forrest South

  • 4m @ 3.77 g/t Au from 94m (FGC001) Jungle

  • 10m @ 0.62 g/t from 30m (DPR022) Jungle

FBM has also investigated other regional occurrences such as Goroke and Burbanks Monarch. Only limited drilling has tested these occurrences, and more work is required to better evaluate their potential. Key intercepts from Goroke and Burbanks Monarch include[1] ;

  • 5m @ 2.3 g/t Au from surface (MID014) Goroke

  • 12m @ 1.04 g/t Au from 15m (FGA059) Goroke

  • 5m @ 1.94 g/t Au from 25m (FGA073) Burbanks Monarch

  • 10m @ 0.90 g/t from 30m (FGA050) Burbanks Monarch

FBM plans to commence testing of these regional targets in upcoming drill programmes.

Next steps

The Miriam Phase 1 drilling programme was completed mid-July and comprised 21 RC drill holes for 1,900m, with assay results now received for the first 10 holes (Tables 1 and 2). Detailed planning for the Miriam Phase 2 drill programme has commenced and will be finalised once assays for the remaining 11 Phase 1 RC drill holes, targeting the Canyon prospect (drill hole location in Table 3), have been received. At this stage, the Company envisages undertaking follow-up RC drilling to test opportunities to extend the gold mineralisation at Forrest and to further test the upside potential of other gold prospects in the Miriam tenure. Single metre sampling of all anomalous composite samples is underway and assay results are expected early October. FBM is also undertaking heritage surveys to clear regional prospects for future exploration evaluation. Recently FBM completed heritage surveys over the Jungle and Forrest South prospects to elevate these targets to drill ready status.

Regional Geology

The Miriam Project tenure covers a region of the Coolgardie Greenstone Belt overlying a suite of mafic and ultramafic units along with felsic intrusives. Miriam also overlies formations and structural trends that host multiple nearby gold deposits, including Horizon Minerals’ Burbanks (466 koz @ 2.4 g/t Au), Beacon Minerals’ McPhersons Reward (132 koz @ 1.2 g/t Au) and Focus Minerals’ Coolgardie Operations (2.7 Moz @ 1.8 g/t Au). 1F[2]

About Future Battery Minerals (ASX: FBM)

THE BUSINESS: Gold and lithium exploration and development

Future Battery Minerals (ASX: FBM) is an exploration and development company focused on rapidly advancing its 100% owned Coolgardie Gold and Lithium project in the Eastern Goldfields of Western Australia.

THE LOCATION: Infrastructure-rich project setting

The Eastern W.A. Goldfields is an outstanding location in which to explore for, build, and operate gold and lithium mines. It is a longestablished mining province with all the accompanying benefits, including all-year land access, skilled labour, mining services and infrastructure.

We are positioned just 15km south of the mining hub of Coolgardie (via sealed road), approximately 370km to the port of Esperance and approximately 550km to Perth via road and rail. We are proximal to multiple gold and lithium mining and processing operations and development projects of substantial scale.

This available range of potential commercialisation options, including standalone development, positions us well to monetise current and future success.

THE TEAM: Proven value generators

==> picture [190 x 220] intentionally omitted <==

Our carefully assembled team has an extensive track record of exploration success, project stewardship, development expertise and operating excellence that has repeatedly resulted in the delivery of substantial shareholder value: Nick Rathjen (MD), Robin Cox (Technical Director), Nev Power (Chairman), Rob Waugh (NED).

JORC Code, 2012 Edition, Table 1 Section 1: Sampling Techniques and Data

CRITERIA EXPLANATION COMMENTARY
Sampling
techniques

Nature and quality of sampling (eg cut
channels, random chips, or specific
specialised industry standard
measurement tools appropriate to the
minerals under investigation, such as
down hole gamma sondes, or handheld
XRF instruments, etc). These examples
should not be taken as limiting the broad
meaning of sampling.

Include reference to measures taken to
ensure sample representivity and the
appropriate calibration of any
measurement tools or systems used.

Aspects of the determination of
mineralisation that are Material to the
Public Report. In cases where ‘industry
standard’ work has been done this would
be relatively simple (eg ‘reverse
circulation drilling was used to obtain 1m
samples from which 3kg was pulverised
to produce a 30g charge for fire assay’).
In other cases more explanation may be
required, such as where there is coarse
gold that has inherent sampling
problems. Unusual commodities or
mineralisation types (eg submarine
nodules) may warrant disclosure of
detailed information.

Reverse Circulation drilling collects a 1m
bulk sample. A 2-3kg sample is cone split
from the drill rig and collected in a pre-
marked calico bag. 4m composites
samples are collected proportionally via
spear from the 1m bulk sample. Both 1
metre and 4 metre composites are
selected for fire assay purpose producing
a 50g homogenised split for assay. When
anomalous 4m composite samples
intercepts >0.1g/t Au are received the
corresponding zone is then sub assayed
to their 1m sample.

Certified reference material, including
known standards and blank material are
inserted at a rate of 1 in 20 for primary
samples, field duplicates are collected at
1 in 30.

Analysis of QA/QC results is undertaken
by the company to ensure sampling
accuracy.

Laboratory (ALS) also perform internal
Qa/Qc sampling at a rate of 1 to 25.
Drilling
techniques

Drill type (eg core, reverse circulation,
open-hole hammer, rotary air blast,
auger, Bangka, sonic, etc) and details
(eg core diameter, triple or standard
tube, depth of diamond tails, face-
sampling bit or other type, whether core
is oriented and if so, by what method,
etc).

Reverse Circulation uses 5.5 inch
pneumatic hammer to pulverise oxidised
and fresh rock which is then delivered to
the cyclone and cone splitter via
compressed air.
Drill sample
recovery

Method of recording and assessing core
and chip sample recoveries and results
assessed.

Measures taken to maximise sample
recovery and ensure representative
nature of the samples.

Whether a relationship exists between
sample recovery and grade and
whether sample bias may have
occurred due to preferential loss/gain of
fine/coarsematerial.

All 1m samples and 4m composite
samples are weighed and recorded in the
FBM database.

Bulk sample recovery was
measured/commented in sample logs.

No sample bias relationship has been
identified.
Logging
Whether core and chip samples have
been geologically and geotechnically
logged to a level of detail to support
appropriate Mineral Resource
estimation, mining studies and
metallurgical studies.

Whether logging is qualitative or
quantitative in nature. Core (or costean,
channel, etc) photography.

Drill holes have been geologically logged
by geologists in the field, recording
lithology, oxidation, weathering, texture,
structure and mineralogy

Geological data has been recorded on
FBM database. Logging is a qualitative
nature.

The total length and percentage of the
relevant intersections logged.
Sub-sampling
techniques and
sample
preparation

If core, whether cut or sawn and
whether quarter, half or all core taken.

If non-core, whether riffled, tube
sampled, rotary split, etc and whether
sampled wet or dry.

For all sample types, the nature, quality
and appropriateness of the sample
preparation technique

Quality control procedures adopted for
all sub-sampling stages to maximise
representivity of samples.

Measures taken to ensure that the
sampling is representative of the in-situ
material collected, including for instance
results for field duplicate/second-half
sampling.

Whether sample sizes are appropriate
to the grain size of the material being
sampled.

Sampling of drill chips included
compositing by spear sample on 4m
composites.

Single metre samples were cone split to
obtain an approximate 2-3kg sample.

Certified reference material, including
known standards and blank material are
inserted at a rate of 1 in 20 for primary
samples, field duplicates are collected at
1 in 30.

Analysis of QA/QC results is undertaken
by the company to ensure sampling
accuracy.

Laboratory (ALS) also perform internal
Qa/Qc sampling at a rate of 1 to 25.
Quality of assay
data and
laboratory tests

The nature, quality and appropriateness
of the assaying and laboratory
procedures used and whether the
technique is considered partial or total.

For geophysical tools, spectrometers,
handheld XRF instruments, etc, the
parameters used in determining the
analysis including instrument make and
model, reading times, calibrations
factors applied and their derivation, etc.

Nature of quality control procedures
adopted (eg standards, blanks,
duplicates, external laboratory checks)
and whether acceptable levels of
accuracy (i.e. lack of bias) and precision
have been established.

All samples were prepared and assayed
by ALS in Perth

Samples preparation included weighing,
pulverising and splitting.

A 50g split was then assayed via Fire
Assay and Atomic Absorption
Spectrometer under ALS code Au-AA26

The methodology is considered an
industry standard in determining gold
grades in known gold bearing systems.

Internal laboratory Qa/Qc processes
were conducted including the insertion of
Certified reference material, blanks and
duplicates.

Qa/Qc results are acceptable
Verification of
sampling and
assaying

The verification of significant
intersections by either independent or
alternative company personnel.

The use of twinned holes.

Documentation of primary data, data
entry procedures, data verification, data
storage (physical and electronic)
protocols.

Discuss any adjustment to assay data.

Significant intercepts are calculated by
database algorithm and verified by FBM
staff and Database contractors.

All field data is imported to the FBM
geochemistry database utilising industry
data logging software LogChief. This is
uploaded to a sequel server database
hosted on Maxwell Geoservices
proprietry software and managed for FBM
by an external database company
Mitchell River Group Pty Ltd.

No adjustments are made to assay data

Gold significant intercepts are calculated
using a 0.3g/t lower cut off and maximum
2m internal waste dilution.

Grade by metre calculations are a simple
multiplication of the gold grade by the
width of the intercept and this is used to
weight the significance of an intercept.

FBM twinned selective historic drill holes
or identified lodes to determine accuracy
of historic results.

Location of data
points

Accuracy and quality of surveys used to
locate drill holes (collar and down-hole
surveys), trenches, mine workings and
other locations used in Mineral
Resource estimation.

Specification of the grid system used.

Quality and adequacy of topographic
control.

Drill Holes were surveyed utilising a
Differential GPS with sub 1cm accuracy
including elevation

All drill hole collar information has been
supplied and projected to UTM MGA 94
Zone 51
Data spacing
and distribution

Data spacing for reporting of
Exploration Results.

Whether the data spacing and
distribution is sufficient to establish the
degree of geological and grade
continuity appropriate for the Mineral
Resource and Ore Reserve estimation
procedure(s) and classifications
applied.

Whether sample compositing has been
applied.

At Forrest, holes were drilled on 30m
spacing, 60m line spacing.

Data spacing is appropriate for identifying
continuous and non-continuous
geochemical anomalies and future
Mineral Resource estimates.
Orientation of
data in relation
to geological
structure

Whether the orientation of sampling
achieves unbiased sampling of possible
structures and the extent to which this is
known, considering the deposit type.

If the relationship between the drilling
orientation and the orientation of key
mineralised structures is considered to
have introduced a sampling bias, this
should be assessed and reported if
material.

Drilling has been conducted on E-W grid
lines. Geological units in the region have
a dominantly N-S to NE-SW strike. As
such the E-W drilling provides relative
oblique interceptions.

Drilling intercepted both oxide/supergene
mineralisation and fresh bedrock
intercepts. More drilling is required to
better determine the dip and direction of
the fresh bedrock gold mineralisation.
Sample security
The measures taken to ensure sample
security.

All samples are collected in the field on
the day of drilling and transported directly
to an ALS laboratory located 40km’s
away in Kalgoorlie

Samples are delivered daily to the
Kalgoorlie ALS laboratory

ALS transport the samples to the Perth
laboratory for analysis.

All calico sample bags are stored within
prelabelled Pollyweave bags and zip tied
for transportation.
Audits or
reviews

The results of any audits or reviews of
sampling techniques and data.
No independent audit or review has been
undertaken.

dip and azimuth of the hole

down hole length and interception

hole length.

If the exclusion of this information is
justified on the basis that the
information is not Material and this
exclusion does not detract from the
understanding of the report, the
Competent Person should clearly
explain why thisis the case.

Significant intercept assay data has
been tabled. (Table1)
Data aggregation
methods

In reporting Exploration Results,
weighting averaging techniques,
maximum and/or minimum grade
truncations (eg cutting of high grades)
and cut-off grades are usually
Material and should be stated.

Where aggregate intercepts
incorporate short lengths of high-
grade results and longer lengths of
low-grade results, the procedure used
for such aggregation should be stated
and some typical examples of such
aggregations should be shown in
detail.

The assumptions used for any
reporting of metal equivalent values
should be clearly stated.

Maximum down hole gold assays
and grade by metre have been
included in maps. Cutoff ranges are
shown in legends

Significant intercepts are considered
as intercepts >0.3g/t Au and include
up to 2m internal dilution. This is
considered a significant intercept for
a known gold bearing system.

Significant intercepts which include
both 1m samples and 4 metre
composites are calculated via a
length weighted average.

All 4 metre composites which return
results >0.1g/t will be sub assayed to
corresponding 1m samples and 1
metre samples will then take priority
once results are received.
Relationship
between
mineralisation
widths and
intercept
lengths

These relationships are particularly
important in the reporting of Exploration
Results.

If the geometry of the mineralisation
with respect to the drill hole angle is
known, its nature should be reported.

If it is not known and only the down
hole lengths are reported, there should
be a clear statement to this effect (eg
‘down hole length, true width not
known’).

All results are reported as down hole
length only. Mineralisation is
interpreted as flat lying lodes however
geological understanding is still
insufficient and further drilling planned
by FBM aims to address the
uncertainty.
Diagrams Appropriate maps and sections (with
scales) and tabulations of intercepts should
be included for any significant discovery
being reported These should include, but
not be limited to a plan view of drill hole
collar locations and appropriate sectional
views.
Relevant diagrams have been included
within the announcement.
Balanced
reporting
Where comprehensive reporting of all
Exploration Results is not practicable,
representative reporting of both low and
high grades and/or widths should be
practiced to avoid misleading reporting of
Exploration Results.

Assay data has been represented for
all holes drilled in the project area
including holes with no significant
intercept.
Other
substantive
exploration data
Other exploration data, if meaningful and
material, should be reported including (but
not limited to): geological observations;
geophysical survey results; geochemical
survey results; bulk samples – size and
method of treatment; metallurgical test
results; bulk density, groundwater,
geotechnicalandrockcharacteristics;
No other substantive data exists.
